It depends on the driver, gearbox and conditions, it's not something I've tried since the remap.

Measuring it accurately is always an issue unless you have the right gear. The only real place to try this is a strip, like the one they run at GTi Inter. My iPhone app will do the 0-60 timing run, but I doubt it's accuracy.

It's not that important really, if you can't feel the car is faster, you've wasted your money on a remap.

My Revo Golf GTi PD150 did 0-60 in 6.5 and 14.65 standing quarter at GTi Inter back in 2004, if that helps.

The site below is ok for a bit of a play with to give you some sort of rough idea of what you can expect:-

http://www.letstorquebhp.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Figures from site using vehicle weight of 1395kgs (from VW site) and HP of 208 (from REVO site):-

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 208
Weight without Driver (KG) : 1395
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 151.50
0 - 60 (Secs) : 7.07
0 - 100 (Secs) : 18.33
60 - 100 (Secs) : 11.26
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 15.47
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 91.85
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 15.27
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 93.43

Obvioulsy these are just approximate - a computer program is never going to recreate all the real world variations but it gives you an idea.
